About the podcast
My name is Marla Hughes. I have worked with children my entire life. I have a Master's degree in Exercise Physiology. I have worked in the pediatric transplant unit at UCSF Hospital in San Francisco, teaching children about exercise, good nutrition and relaxation. I also worked at the Center for Attitudinal Healing with its founder, Dr. Gerald Jampolsky, using art and music therapy to help young children who had life threatening diseases or who had a parent or loved one who was severely ill. My greatest teachers, however, have been my children. I have never experienced a love that deep or profound. I created this podcast because I am intrigued by how children can help us reconnect with our spiritual selves. I believe the young are our teachers; after all they are the masters of living in the moment, enjoying the messiness of life and curious about the universe in all it's dimensions. They are not concerned with ego or comparisons. These young souls enter life with driblets of heaven clinging to them, still in touch with their memories of past lives and the people and places they had known before. I want to explore and share this wisdom.

What If Our Hardest Experiences Have Something to Teach Us?What if the experiences we wish we could erase from our lives are actually some of our greatest teachers?
Today on Interviews with Innocence, Marla welcomes Stephen Weber, who experienced a profound near-death experience after a devastating motorcycle accident left him in a coma for several weeks.
Before his accident, Stephen describes himself as being about as far from spirituality as he could imagine. But during his time in what he calls "The Place Between Here and There," everything changed.
Stephen experienced a series of extraordinary experiences, including repeated life reviews in which he revisited moments from his life and experienced them from a much broader perspective. Instead of simply remembering what happened, he felt the experiences and emotions of the people involved.
What emerged was a completely different understanding of mistakes, pain, relationships, forgiveness, and personal growth.
In this fascinating conversation, Stephen shares what he learned about:
His near-death experience and the mysterious realm he calls The Place Between Here and There
Experiencing his life review repeatedly and seeing his past through new eyes
Why some of our most difficult experiences may become our greatest opportunities for growth
Learning to release shame, guilt, and animosity
Spirit guides and the unexpected appearance of two deceased friends
The connection between prayer, spirit, and healing
Signs and synchronicities, including an unforgettable story involving a Dalmatian named Violet
The loss of his son, Nick, and the signs that helped Stephen navigate his grief
His understanding of the higher self and the spiritual purpose behind our lives
Why he believes children may retain a deeper connection to spirit
The idea that everything in creation carries spirit and energy
The similarities he sees among different spiritual and religious traditions
His belief that love is ultimately the intelligence behind our existence
Stephen also shares the story of encountering a group of children during his experience and realizing that what he initially perceived as misbehaving children were actually souls preparing for their first human incarnation.
His experiences ultimately led him to write A Beautiful Near-Death Experience and The Lessons Learned, exploring both his journey and the twelve lessons he believes he brought back with him.
Perhaps the most powerful message of all is simple: we are here to learn and grow from our experiences.
And sometimes, looking back at our lives with greater awareness can completely change the meaning of what we've been through.
About Stephen WeberStephen Weber is the co-author, with Katherine Plant, of A Beautiful Near-Death Experience and The Lessons Learned. His extraordinary journey began with a near-fatal motorcycle accident and a prolonged coma that profoundly changed his understanding of spirituality, consciousness, grief, and the purpose of life.
His work explores near-death experiences, signs and synchronicities, spiritual growth, after-death communication, and the common threads he sees across different spiritual traditions.

In this deeply meaningful episode of Interviews with Innocence, we welcome Brooke Grove—a complex trauma survivor-thriver, near-death experiencer, former psychotherapist, author, and multidisciplinary integrative healer working in co-creation with Spirit.
Brooke's journey bridges both the scientific and spiritual worlds. With advanced degrees in Clinical Psychology, Marital and Family Therapy, and Clinical Art Therapy, she spent years working within traditional psychotherapy before being called into a more expansive path of healing that integrates consciousness, energy medicine, and spiritual guidance.
Her work today draws from an extraordinary range of training and experience, including Shamanic Energy Medicine, Quantum Fieldwork, Transpersonal Neuroscience, trauma-informed psychedelic therapy, and psychedelic-assisted integration. Through this multidimensional approach, Brooke helps people explore, transmute, and transform deeply rooted emotional and energetic patterns.
During our conversation, Brooke shares how profound life experiences—including trauma and a near-death experience—expanded her understanding of consciousness and opened the door to a deeper partnership with Spirit in her healing work.
We also explore the emerging field of psychedelic-assisted healing and the importance of ethical guidance, integration, and spiritual awareness when navigating expanded states of consciousness.
In a very personal moment during the episode, I share how Brooke supported me during the passing of my beloved labradoodle, Daisy. Her compassion, presence, and spiritual perspective brought comfort during a tender and emotional time, reminding me that healing and connection often appear when we need them most.
This episode is a beautiful exploration of resilience, spiritual awakening, and the ways we can transform life's most challenging moments into opportunities for growth, compassion, and deeper connection.
Brooke's upcoming memoir, The Beauty in the Broken Glass, shares her powerful story of trauma, transcendence, and the journey toward healing and light.

In this unforgettable episode of Interviews with Innocence, Marla sits down with Laurie and Eric Kirkland to share a story that feels almost cinematic in its intensity — and yet, every word is true.
Forty years ago, while camping in the Calico Mountains, Laurie and Eric's beloved dog Jesse vanished without a trace. What followed was a week of heartbreak, relentless searching, radio ads, flyers, and a 500 dollar reward.
And then… a psychic entered the story.
What she revealed would guide them to a shocking discovery — including a mysterious collapsed mine shaft, a "big green rock," and a desperate race against time.
Seven days after disappearing in open desert surrounded by coyotes, Jesse was found alive.
In this episode, we explore:
✨ The emotional toll of losing a beloved animal ✨ Why they decided to call a dog psychic ✨ The details she described that proved eerily accurate ✨ The moment she screamed, "He's out!" ✨ The meaning of intuition and unseen guidance ✨ How this experience shifted their view of psychic ability ✨ Eric's later experience with medium John Edward ✨ Signs from loved ones in spirit
This conversation is about devotion, persistence, and the mysterious ways hope sometimes answers back.
Sometimes faith looks like searching one more canyon.

In this inspiring episode of Interviews with Innocence, Marla sits down with Stevie Calista—an astrologer, artist, intuitive channel, and founder of Farmhouse Moon. Stevie brings a grounded, heart-led approach to astrology, blending ancient teachings with intuition, spiritual insight, and compassionate guidance.
Stevie believes our birth chart is a soul map—a blueprint of the lessons, gifts, and karmic patterns we carry into this lifetime. Through her work, she helps people remember who they truly are beneath conditioning, expectations, and fear, and invites them back into alignment with their deepest truth.
Together, Marla and Stevie explore:
✨ How astrology serves as a healing tool ✨ The birth chart as a karmic blueprint and map of the soul ✨ Old souls, past lives, and intuitive remembering ✨ The North and South Nodes — and what they reveal about purpose ✨ How children can benefit from astrology at an early age ✨ Why understanding your rising sign can change everything ✨ Astrology as a form of "spiritual science" ✨ The ways astrology supports awakening, self-trust, and inner peace ✨ Why today's children are here to rebuild a more awakened world
Stevie also shares her own intuitive awakening, her journey from skepticism to spiritual leadership, and how tracking the moon cycles has transformed the way she moves through life.
This conversation is filled with insight, empowerment, and the reminder that we all carry ancient wisdom within us — and astrology is simply a pathway home.

"What does your soul really want to say?" 💫
This week on Interviews with Innocence, I'm joined by the extraordinary Stephanie Banks—a gifted intuitive channel who connects with spirit guides, ancestors, Gaia, and even animals to help people receive guidance and healing at the soul level.
Stephanie's journey began with a deeply personal quest: a desire to stay connected with her mother after a diagnosis of early-onset dementia. That moment led her to channeling—an experience that changed her relationship with her mother and opened her to a life of intuitive service.
We talk about: 🌿 The difference between mediumship and channeling 🧠 Communicating with souls on both sides of the veil 💬 How to tune into your intuition and soul wisdom 👶 The sacred responsibility of listening to children's souls 🐕 Why animals and nature are powerful spiritual allies 💫 How soul-level messages can shift grief, illness, and conflict into deep healing

What does it mean to truly know Spirit? To believe in something greater—and to prove it?
This week, I sit down with evidential medium and intuitive coach Ann, whose life has been anything but ordinary. From her earliest years, she experienced visits from Spirit and had an innate knowing about people and animals—but it took years to understand her gifts. And even more courage to honor them.
After a successful corporate career, Ann followed her calling into the world of mediumship and healing. Her journey led her across the globe—from rigorous testing protocols to the Arthur Findlay College in England, where she finally found her spiritual home.
In this conversation, we talk about: 🌌 Her mantra: "Believe. Know. Grow." 🌀 How mediumship circles work—and how they change lives 👶 Her work with Helping Parents Heal 🔮 Why she believes Spirit has tangible proof for those who are ready to see it 💫 What children and future generations can gain from a deeper connection to the Divine
Ann reminds us: "Always expect the unexpected." And this episode delivers exactly that.

In this deeply moving episode of Interviews with Innocence, Marla Hughes engages in a profound conversation with Dr. Katie Deming, a former radiation oncologist and founder of The Conscious Oncologist. Known for her pioneering approach that bridges traditional and integrative medicine, Dr. Deming shares her journey from practicing Western medicine to embracing a holistic, spiritual path centered on the soul's innate power to heal. Her story is one of transformation, beginning with an early calling to medicine and deepening through her experiences in hospice care, where she witnessed moments of grace, love, and spiritual insight that forever changed her perspective on life and death.
Dr. Deming reflects on her time working with terminal patients, including the life-altering experience of holding a patient as they passed. This moment catalyzed a shift, opening her eyes to the beauty and mystery of the end-of-life transition. She shares her journey of becoming a "conscious oncologist," including her spiritual awakening and encounters with the divine, which redefined her understanding of medicine, healing, and death. Marla and Dr. Deming delve into her use of ceremonies to honor patients, her interactions with trauma and yoga therapists, and even a shamanic drumming ceremony in which she felt the presence of a departed patient's spirit—experiences that reinforced her belief in the afterlife and opened up her own intuitive gifts.
This episode touches on her decision to step away from Western medicine, driven by a calling to help people prepare for death with acceptance, presence, and dignity. Dr. Deming discusses her thoughts on the shortcomings of traditional Western medicine and the importance of integrating wisdom from diverse healing traditions. She also shares deeply personal insights, such as her encounter with the spirit of Mother Teresa, who taught her how to "walk patients home" as they transitioned, an experience that remains close to her heart and guides her work to this day.
Dr. Deming's work with patients extends beyond physical healing to nurturing their spiritual, emotional, and mental well-being. She speaks passionately about using her intuition responsibly, ensuring that her spiritual gifts are shared in a way that honors each patient's needs. As she reflects on her role as a healer, Dr. Deming offers wisdom on embracing life's full journey and passing this understanding to younger generations—empowering them to live with an awareness of life's continuity and beauty.
Join Marla and Dr. Deming for this illuminating conversation, as they explore topics from spiritual awakenings to the art of holding space for life's final moments. This episode offers transformative insights into health, healing, and the unseen dimensions of life, reminding us of the profound impact of compassion, presence, and spiritual connection in the journey toward true well-being.
